This traditional British pub is a gem. From its warm, friendly and attentive staff to its great value menu. Our 3rd visit to Cirencester and it won’t be our last to this great market town and this pub. Special mention to Mandy (landlady?) who went out of her way to give excellent service!. Well done!

We've had lunch here 5 or 6 times in the last few months. Each time, the food has been good, homely pub food at very reasonable prices. The beers are well kept, and the service is excellent. One added benefit for me is that all the menu items display the calorie content, and lighter versions of standard pub meals are available, eg steak and salad. And it's possible to book a table - unlike a nearby pub which refused to take bookings for Saturday afternoon.

Unfortunately not a good experience. Had fantastic reviews and a great Sunday menu online and noted to be accessible. There’s a small step on entry to navigate with my grandfather in a wheelchair. Then a tortuous route to use the toilets. No online ordering as they said they had. Then told they don’t do roasts anymore, then on ordering was told it’s an hour wait at 12.45. Really subpar.

The Black Horse in Cirencester is an old style pub with a good range of drinks and staff who are keen to deliver a good service but the pub is in need of some investment and modernisation. The toilets in particular are in need of some attention. Maybe I was unlucky but when I visited the toilets were flooded and the smell was bad to say the least.. I've been on agricultural farms which smelled better. The building does have it's charm though and with a little attention to detail to improve the place it could be good.

Came to Cirencester to attend the advent market. We came into this pop for a few drinks and it was extremely busy (due to the advent market). All staff coped amazingly well and served every customer with a smile even though it was very busy!! They also had live music which was also brilliant! Highly recommend this pub for a drink and a bite to eat when visiting Cirencester. 👍

I noticed a poster and the landlady explained they have deals each week day for food and a drink. I am not sure if there is parking available but if not there is a car park 4 mins walk away which is free after 6pm. Very friendly staff and the the food was lovely!! As I go to this area for food I will definitely be returning!

Any questions I had he was happy to ask and if he wasn’t sure he went to find out for me. Nothing was to much trouble, I came back to hand in the booking order and paid with ease.

The food and drinks were served quickly, considering how busy the pub was, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. But we (and they) had problems with the table numbers. Several tables had the table number pealed off, which had my fiancé counting the tables to make sure we had the right one for the app! An issue that could easily be fixed and save potential embarrassment for customers and / or staff. Our food was good and the portions were larger than most pubs - neither of us could finish them! Haha. We even shared food between us. I did struggle to find something on the menu to suit my dietary requirements, but the allergen menu was a great asset.

The food quality was only so-so, service was very slow though the pub was almost empty. The food took a very long time to arrive, the scampi was overdone, I ordered mushy peas and they brought garden peas, a very small portion./ Won't be going to this pub again.

Terrible. We spent over 75 pounds and the food was TERRIBLE. Took forever (over an hour) to receive it and it was cold. The portions were tiny and frankly it did not taste like anything special. We had to remind them of various parts of our order over and over again, to get them to bring it. Things like tartar sauce, etc., We went there to celebrate some achievements in our family and to say goodbye to a family member that was flying home on Tuesday. It was a TERRIBLE experience, not worth a single pound, especially when it took over an hour to get cold, tasteless food. I will not be back; nor my family. We work too hard for our money to waste it on experiences like this. You guys can do so much better. Very disappointing.

Don’t bother unless you’re a local . Stood at the bar with only one person in front of me . The other customers order seemed to take a while as the till was playing up . During my wait a local walked in and stood at the bar. When the guy in front of me had been served the girl completely blanked me and served her friend. She knew I was there as I was stood right next to the till she was using . Walked straight out and went elsewhere. Won’t be returning

Had an amazing meal for lunch today. Live near to ciren. Had to meet others. Not been since menu was changed. Great choice on the menu and behind the bar. Nice choice of gins, which I had a pink gin. But was offered plenty of options. Informed that menus was on the table and I could order at the bar or by the app. I had had the gammon, which I asked for on the well done side. Was offered both egg and pineapple. I was busy chatting to my friend, so before I realised the food was delivered with a smile. My food was excellent as I am a little awkward. Gammon was cooked perfect and the egg had a nice soft yolk.

Still sitting here having returned the worst pub meal I've had in ages, microwaved chicken and mushroom pie to a rock hard ball sitting in the grease from the overcooked pastry. Waited 30 min for that rubbish on a quiet Monday afternoon, could have put it in an oven in that time. No love in the kitchen and obviously no respect for customers.

We called into the Black Horse for drinks a few times over the last two weeks. The service was brilliant, yesterday Scott was working behind the bar and was so busy. We were sat close to the bar and were really impressed by his professionalism when dealing with a challenging situation that occurred. He was so kind to the lady who had a bit of a personal problem. He never missed a beat whilst serving a queue of customers at the same time as reassuring the lady in question. Well done! Hope the management read this🤗
